A special request to the media

Please continue to talk down the Panthers. Please continue to not give the credit where deserved. Please find stupid crap to criticize Cam about that has little to do with football. You are correct that they are "overrated, lucky, and basically smoke and mirrors." Please continue to give them fuel to burn through the rest of the NFL. We relish the hate.

It's already begun. Vegas has us as underdogs. 7 games of difference between us, and we are underdogs. The knob slobbing of the Cowboys is real yo...

Vegas has nothing to do with the media, experts, or league.  It is about the stupid betting public.

All you'll hear this week is about Romo and Dallas .. Don't worry ..

Exactly. They are the worst team in the NFC, and need to win 5 of 6 just to get to 8-8. But hey, they're back.

Quick Note: I realize the hypocrisy in my statement, considering that our cats had 3 wins in week 12 last year too..........but Fug Dallas anyway, because we did have a tie!!

Vegas is pretty good usually, and they dont really care about splitting bets

They win because their lines are about 50/50 in game results.  That is how they make money with 10% vig as results cushion, not trying to split bets 50/50.

If they were just trying to split bets you would see outcome differences in score versus spread over long period of time with popular teams.  You don't see that.  It is about 50/50 on results and 10% "vig" gives house the edge over long term if results variance is within that margin.

Also, if the "they give popular teams extra points" theory was true smart bettors would just bet against the popular teams every week because they are getting extra points.

That doesnt mean they dont hedge which is why spreads move as money moves to one side.  But that is to lower risk more than splitting bets.

So house has the edge as long as results stay roughly 50/50 no matter who is betting what

Ok, so from a guy that knows little about this stuff to one who knows a lot, how do you explain Thursday's line? 

What factors are they seeing that we aren't?

I dont know, I think the Panthers are good pick at this line and I imagine it will move over next couple of days.

They may be valuing Tony Romo too high, home team gets extra points, and short week with west coast travel for Panthers could take some points away from them.

To be honest, i dont know though.

I'm not saying you are wrong but I cant find an explanation of line setting that does not say it's about getting the money split evenly.

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
